I think I mentioned my wife and I each got a new Kodak EasyShare P850 camera (5 megapixel) for our meeting anniversary. Well, had to try it out and so I took a few pictures just in our yard. Flowers mainly although there's one of two of our cars.

In any case, now I'm glad I did. I came in and within half an hour we got real deluge of rain and some strong winds and some of the flowers lost their petals.

Oh well, I'll share a couple pictures. I reduced them down to 640X480 although the originals are about 4 times that size 2900 X something. Whew! Huge.




Now I can hardly wait to learn how to turn it on. JK

Nice pics, DB!

Thanks all. Just wanted to share my first fling with the shutter.

Gorgeous! You should come to CA and take pics of all the lovely exotic flowers in our yard. No, I didn't plant them...but they are cool.

Your camera should have a macro setting, denoted by a flower.

If you select that setting, it will go to fixed focus. You move the camera closer and farther until the object is framed and in focus.

You can take a full frame photo of a dime, properly lit.

I think you're right. I saw something to that affect, just haven't tried it yet. I'll have to play some more with that. Thanks.

It's marvellous for insect on flower pics etc.
